Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Infectious Diseases in Respiratory Medicine”. Infectious diseases continue to represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with respiratory infections ranking among the most common and severe. The recent global experience with COVID-19 has highlighted the critical need for continued research into the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of respiratory infections. Beyond emerging viral pandemics, bacterial, fungal, and mycobacterial respiratory infections remain highly prevalent, with substantial impact on healthcare systems, patient quality of life, and long-term outcomes. Advancing our understanding in this field is therefore essential for improving patient care and public health.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and expert perspectives on infectious diseases affecting the respiratory system. It will cover diverse aspects of pathogenesis, diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention strategies. The focus of this Special Issue aligns closely with the scope of the journal, which emphasizes advances in the understanding and management of respiratory disorders. We expect this collection to be of great interest to clinicians, researchers, and policymakers involved in respiratory and infectious disease medicine.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and narrative reviews. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Viral respiratory infections (e.g., influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV);
- Bacterial pneumonias and antimicrobial resistance in respiratory medicine;
- Tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease;
- Opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts;
- Fungal respiratory infections (e.g., aspergillosis, endemic mycoses);
- Advances in rapid diagnostics and molecular testing;
- Vaccines and preventive strategies in respiratory infectious diseases;
- Host immune response and pathophysiology of respiratory infections;
- Emerging pathogens and global health perspectives;
- Infection control and public health implications.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kay Choong See
Guest Editor
